So I wasted basically the whole day on Tuesday planning our ride strategy for Disneyland.

(In case you're wondering, we're not going until October, but us OCD freaks really like to plan. Like REALLY like to plan. I have our entire packing list typed up, have been brainwashing our 3 year old with DisneyParks videos on Netflix for awhile now, and am appalled at how few Halloween costumes are available in July. Really now. Come on Target.).

In case you didn't know there is a strategy that works best. If you would like to know a fun fact about me, it is that I am pretty much a Disney expert. Which means I am also a nerd. I know all about the "secret" bathroom, California Adventure's unofficial opening 1/2 hour before posted, and the real skulls that are stuck in the walls of Pirates of the Caribbean.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, congratulations, you probably have a life. If you do, we should probably be BFF's.

I know you think those rolling skatey shoes are super cool. It's probably kind of like taking the moving sidewalk (also known as a travelator, but I'm guessing that wasn't on your 5th grade vocab list) at the airport when everyone else has to walk. If I were you I would probably think they were "the bomb" as well. I mean, I like to take pictures of my friends crashing into displays at Target and post them on the internet too. However, no offense, but you look kinda dumb. Also you're not making a great case for lowering the driving age to eleven. And plus, since I write my local governor daily urging him to pass a law outlawing these maniacal shoes, that have almost claimed my life twice, I'm pretty sure they will soon be illegal as well. I sympathize with you. Really I do. But cut your losses and scrap the shoes immediately. Maybe your mom will buy you some super awesome toning shoes instead.

Just indulge me for a few days here and embrace my abundance of Fall recipes. I have a little bit of an obsession with the season and since everyone and their chia pet is having a "Christmas in July" sale, I'm pretty sure I can have a letspretenditsfallandnot5000degreesoutside post. Am I right? Thank you very much.

I'm Katie, and I'm glad you are here! If you like to dip things in chocolate, we can be friends.
